All the subcultural stuff... I've always wondered how they keep their web activities hidden though, surely to build a community they'd need to make themselves findable, so opening themselves up to prosecution?

they need the justification to keep doing what they're doing, not to mention the thrill they get from hearing what other people are doing. they can go from being "tormented souls" to....well, active pedophiles. i don't know that it's all new though, nambla has been around quite a while.

He argues that if dolphins were really that bright, they would jump over tuna nets instead of getting caught in them.I recommend always assuming 7th normal form where items in a text column are not allowed to rhyme.

I have seen some theory that suggests by Phage (2.00 / 0) #17Wed Aug 23, 2006 at 05:15:08 AM EST

That dolphins brains are also bigger becuase being mammals at sea they cannot reach a deep sleep. A large portion of the brain is then shut down sequentially to allow dreaming.

OT: Empirical tests show that Orcas are far more intelligent.

Or, we have no idea what intelligence is. The dolphins may be up to something.

Here in the states the salads and other healthy fare that were offered by McDonald's and the like were small in size and more expensive ounce per ounce than the normal grease-fest options. I don't think those healthy options being not so popular necessarily says anything about the willingness of consumers to eat healthy but only that they for the most part aren't willing to pay more to eat a smaller quantity of healthy food.There is no more degenerate kind of state than that in which the richest are supposed to be the best.Cicero, The Republic

If you're concerned about eating healthy to begin with, visiting the Golden Arches probably isn't very high on your list for places to eat.There is no more degenerate kind of state than that in which the richest are supposed to be the best.Cicero, The Republic

The best way to see that the thrend is not "over" is in the falling sales of the old-school fastfood restaurants. Sure MacDonalds couldn't sell healthy food...anyone into healthy food wasn't setting food in one.---[ucblockhead is] useless and subhuman

In most circumstances I agree wholeheartedly. But exceptions exist such as when a family decides where to go out for a quick meal, it could be that the lone voice of reason gets overruled by the democratic process.There is no more degenerate kind of state than that in which the richest are supposed to be the best.Cicero, The Republic

Basically it comes down to the chemistry. Fatty foods can easily be frozen and reheated without changing the texture and the flavour.
Kobe beef for instance is routinely frozen even though it's a premium product, because it's so fatty the taste change is practially indetectable.
Fresh food tends to lose crispness very quickly: frying tends to restore a pleasantly crisped texture.
Fresh fruit and veg can't be stored for long.

So as I see it, all those factors tend to mean that unhealthy food is always going to be cheaper to deliver to consumers (in a modern economy and urban/suburban society).

If you walk into a Whole Foods near me (a supermarket that specializes in organics) you'll find rows upon rows of shelves with pre-made foods. In fact, I'm currently eating a meatless organic breakfast burrito and juice drink I bought there. Given the raw number of options, this sort of thing seems to be pulling in lots of dollars.

It can be done, but it takes an entirely different infrastructure from a fast-food place. (Like a real kitchen, not just fryers.)

Also, Subway sandwiches shops are relatively speaking, healthy (at least, they have healthy options) and they seem to be spreading everywhere.

Though yes, you do pay a significant premium for food that's not crap.---[ucblockhead is] useless and subhuman

as much as I harassed randomxs for his anti-pedo stance, those paedos are one fucked up group. Teachers, kids camp counselors, piano intructors, hell, everywhere.. But are they really, or are they just tall tale telling ? That's the worrisome part.
